Bergeron Clifford LLP: Maximize Your Case’s Potential With Expert Guidance

We work on a contingency fee agreement basis. The legal fee in a contingency agreement is not payable until the end of the case, and even then, the fee is only payable if we are successful on your behalf.

For more information on contingency fees, please refer to the Law Society of Ontario’s guide, Contingency Fees: What You Need To Know.

An average claim may take 2 years, but some resolve quicker, while some take much longer. It is not uncommon for claims to resolve in 18 months, but the most important thing is that you get the amount of compensation that you and your family deserve and that you are taken care of in the meantime. We can help with all of that.

The two most important factors that we cannot control are:

How quickly you reach maximal medical recovery (your healing), and
How the other side reacts to your case. If you heal quickly, we will have a good idea of what your future looks like, but if you heal slowly or have very complicated injuries then this will delay things.
In some cases, all of the necessary facts are known very quickly after an accident. In very serious injury, like spinal cord injury or brain injury, the defendant’s available insurance limits are unlikely to be enough to pay for all your needs. Such cases often settle quickly.

It also depends how far you’re willing to compromise. This is up to you; getting compensated for everything you have lost will take longer than settling for only part of it. We are prepared to go all the way if you need to.
